Happy WOYWW everyone! I recently watched a hilarious You tube of a crafter who blamed all the You tube tutorials for her craft spending. She used to be happy with one kind of adhesive, some paper and photos. But now, she says she has purchased all different kinds of adhesives: glue, red line, ATV, dots, dementionals, etc! She now has all kinds of pearls, embellies, etc, and an abundance of paper!
Well as I watched that I realized that before I started looking at all your desks, I thought I had everything! LOL I have been participating in WOYWW since September 2013. Since I started you have enabled (to just name two) me to want a Gelli Print Plate, and Zentangle pen and paper, I even went to classes for both of those mentioned! So many other things too! I just want to thank you, really thank you for introducing me to new crafts. I really enjoy it all!
Also, what I enjoy is when you make helpful comments! As you can see, I still have my unique marker holder, (was a spice rack I bought at a garage sale for $2.00 about a year ago.) I asked you what I should do with it, and several said use it to hold my markers! I liked that and the look of it too! But, alas, the markers kept falling out the back and under the cabinets, where it was difficult for me to find them. After that several suggested putting a back on it. This is the deal, they would then fall out the front because it isn't deep enough. Now, I am thinking as I collect my SU! blendabilities, I will leave them in the boxes, and maybe they won't fall out as easily. Maybe? For now, anyway. :)
Then last week, I ask about putting a thank you for your comments into the comment box. Thank you Krafty Karen, and Rasz for helping me with that. I think I was successful, even if it is so small and low. Don't know if anyone will notice it. I will tweak it sometime.
All of this to say thank you to all of you deskers for your comments, and for all your enabling!

And now for why we are here! To show our desks! And if you want to see more desks check out Stamping Ground, where our hostess Julia has everything all layed out for us. I made that card in a Blendability workshop, and have been practicing on some oother flowers. Also, some quilling I have been playing with, and a reject card, mabe I will use it for something. Then some buys at 60% off from Michaels! Yes, I guess Michaels was the enabler this time! :)

Good afternoon! I wasn't going to post today, but here I am! Here is what my desk looks like for all you WOYWW snoopers! :) Completed scrap pages, cards from a SU! workshop yesterday, and a new toy! I got this EK tulip edge punch for $3.99 today and was excided to come home and play with it. I think it will make fun pieces to put on cards as well as great boarders for scrap pages. I am a fan of EK punches, because if something doesn't work, their customer service is great. I speak from experience.
It has been a great day so far! Our Son called us this morning and we had a wonderful chat with him. It is always nice to hear from our kids who are gone from the nest and live far, far away! And then we had a wonderful time of Christian fellowship and Bible study this morning, at our ladies weekly Bible Study. A great way to begin the day! I hope you are having a blessed day today!

Stop by and see Julia' Stamping Ground and the other deskers if you want to snoop some more desks! Thank you for stopping by! I am late, but I will come by and see you. Hugs!

are! Thank you everyone who commented last week! So I have included a photo of my finished card for my

friend (as requested). Also in the photo are some other little things I made with matching papers. One has a gift card in it and the other has some homemade enamel dots I baked for her.. I got that recipe off of Coffee, Stamps, & Chaos. It works! I included a photo of the dots and of a new addition on my desk. Thank you Julia for the information on the deck chair. It is so cute, but I went for cheap! LOL But I think I will send the link for the deck chair for my Mini to my kids, maybe they will get it for me for Christmas. :) Since Julia thought my area was so neat I included a photo of my other area- where I post my Blog from my laptop. No one can say that is neat! My husband doesn't think any of my "nests" are neat! Okay, I do not know why my post is posting so wierd, but I have tried to align everything to the left, but it won't do it. Please bare with me.

Good afternoon! I have been gone again. We went to Colorado for a family reunion. It was so interesting to get together with everyone and get re-acquainted. Even found a cousin in law who shares my interest in stamping! But, I did miss all of you! Today's photo of my desk shows a card I am in the process of making for my BFF. We have known each other for over 50 years, and she is a card maker too, so it has to be special. I am not done with it yet, just have it laying there, and maybe when looking at it, I will think what else I want to do with it! LOL My latest Su! order is sitting there as I just picked it up this week. Some HL purchases are sitting there too. Also I wanted to point out, the empty rack, because you will wonder where my markers are. Although that was a lovely rack for my markers, they were always falling out the back and under the work area. I got tired of crawling around on the floor looking for them. So, I moved them temporaily into those plastic clam SU! boxes. Now, here we are again with the question what to do with that lovely rack? :)

Also, I thought I would include a photo or two of our trip. We love Colorado! And it was a pretty time of the year to go. But, it is great to be back! I look forward to your comments, and I will be stopping by your desks. If you do not already take part in the wonderful desk hop, why don't you join us?
